So with the recent changes to the Garona article the issue of which image should be used for the infobox came up. I went search for answers in the policy pages and found this in [[WoWWiki_talk:Policy/Writing/Lore#Infobox_arts]]. It was proposed by Baggins and Ragestorm agreed with it. |

Forums: Village pump → Infobox images
So with the recent changes to the Garona article the issue of which image should be used for the infobox came up. I went search for answers in the policy pages and found this in WoWWiki_talk:Policy/Writing/Lore#Infobox_arts. It was proposed by Baggins and Ragestorm agreed with it.
- 1. Cinematic Screenshot
- 2. Official colored art, followed by official B&W art (exception being if B&W is of higher quality, or better detail. This comes down to whichever is more aesthetically pleasing, and best accuracy to source material.)
- 3. Ingame model (including models from previous games) (only if the NPC has a special unique model for itself)
- 4. Ingame (WoW) non-unique model screenshot.
That being said it was never adopted as official policy. And later in articles such as Thrall and Grom the cinematic images were replaced with official art. Baggins even commented he perfered seeing official art in the infobox instead of model art (Talk:Thrall#Infobox_image). Personaly i think an official policy needs to be adopted. I propose the following priorities for infoboxes. Either
Option A
- Cinematic Screenshots
- Cinematic style art
- Official color art (commisioned stand alone pieces, like those at sonsofthestorm.com)
- Official b&w art (commisioned stand alone pieces, like those at sonsofthestorm.com)
- Cropped color images from official sources (Book/RPG covers, novels, comics, manga)
- Cropped b&w images from official sources (Book/RPG covers, novels, comics, manga)
- In-game screenshots
- WoWWiki:Nopics
or
Option B
- Official color art (commisioned stand alone pieces, like those at sonsofthestorm.com)
- Official b&w art (commisioned stand alone pieces, like those at sonsofthestorm.com)
- Cinematic style art
- Cinematic Screenshots
- Cropped color images from official sources (Book/RPG covers, novels, comics, manga)
- Cropped b&w images from official sources (Book/RPG covers, novels, comics, manga)
- In-game screenshots
- WoWWiki:Nopics
Exceptions made of course for lore accuracy or quality of picture (good b&w over a bad color). What does everyone think? any better priority rankings?--Warthok Talk Contribs 03:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
